My summer spin-a-thon has officially begun! I have to spin a minimum of 2 skeins a day just to keep up with my show schedule and online sales. It's a lot of work, but I really do love it- I just drag my wheel around with me where ever I go. You can follow along with my spinning progress on my Instagram or Flickr, I am using hashtag #spinathon and #ontheround.
To help get you in the spinning mood for the Tour de Fleece, I thought I would share some spinspiration! These are all skeins that I have spun in the last couple of weeks. Please note, I spun all of these yarns on my Ashford kiwi, I used the fractal spinning method to prepare my roving, and I spun worsted style. I've included purchasing information for either the yarn or the roving in the caption, just click the link to be taken to my shop.

Happy Spinning!
This is such a great post for me as a new spinner - I'm still very much wondering what the different coloured fibres might look like when spun.I have started a spinning link-up today, if you're interested - the blog post is here: http://www.craftsfromthecwtch.co.uk/2013/06/spinning-show-tell-obsession.html
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I checked out your post, you are doing great work! Don't be hard on yourself about your first yarns. Sometimes it helps to put them away for a couple of days and then see them again with fresh eyes. I'm sure you will knit something outstanding with them!
